So I would really recommend the Dave McGuire course. They have an inexpensive self help book on Amazon called “Beyond Stammering: The Mcguire Program for getting good at the Sport of Speaking.” You can have the book downloaded onto your phone in minutes if you get the Amazon Kindle app. The book will go through psychological reasons for stuttering, give you a breathing technique, and inspire you to get out and practice speaking. The program will be fear inducing but use the people closest to you for support. Keep practicing the techniques and follow what the book says. Then I recommend reading “Redefining Stuttering” by John Harrison, someone who stuttered for many years and was part of the National Stuttering Association for many years. You can find a free link to the book if you google the title. If you can’t find it I will help send you a link. I was surprised to find the book for free after seeing it was sold out on Amazon. I’ve also heard great things about the Lee Lovett Program, and he’s written a book you can read. And I believe he provides free online group coaching every Saturday. This is his YouTube channel https://m.youtube.com/c/LeeLovettSpeechWhisperer Also, if you feel like talking comes not very natural to you, you might be on the autistic spectrum. I am and it has helped a lot to learn about it. I have a Cognitive Behavioral therapist that really helps me understand socializing and gives me appropriate scripts to use in various social situations. And read up all the time on how to socialize. The r/socialskills subreddit is great. Also, socialpronow.com has many great and free resources.
